Psychedelic integration/preparation 

(for couples and individuals)

 

Research is clear that psychedelics are not a panacea or a magic bullet. 

To be used safely, psychedelics need to be treated with respect and working with them requires commitment, willingness and dedication to change and improve your life, clear intentions and good support including substantial care around preparation and integration. 

To guide you through those processes, we use extensive psychotherapeutic experiences, findings from research including psychedelic science, neuroscience and attachment-based research, and my personal experiences in the field of psychotherapy and psychedelics. 

 

Preparation helps you build safety, clarity, and intention before your journey, while integration supports you in making sense of your experience and applying insights to daily life. Together, they harness the brain’s natural neuroplasticity to create lasting change, deepen self-understanding, compassion for others and support emotional and behavioural transformation

​

In the context of IFS, research suggest that psychedelics increase awareness of our parts, often they can also increase access to Self – energy. This means that we not only clearly notice our parts but may also have spontaneous compassion for the parts we previously feared or hated.

This kick starts a profound healing process where we start developing a more compassionate, loving, nurturing, connected relationship with ourselves and with the the world around us. 

​

In relational terms, this often shows as decreased defensiveness and increased awareness, acceptance and empathy towards our partner and their parts.
